Using the Remote Control
The remote control is capable of controlling more than just your VCR. If
you have compatible RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, you may be able to
control it without having to program the remote. If you have another
brand of TV, your VCR's remote control may be able to operate it once it
has been programmed. This chapter offers details about programming
the remote control and operating TVs.
